    Best SD ammo for a .38 Special

    When I first got my S&W 60-4, I just went out and bought any old ammo I could get my hands on, basically because I had no idea what I was doing. And now I have four boxes of full metal jacket rounds sitting on the shelf that are probably not the best for what I need, which I know because now I'm...

    Upstate New York gun law question

    Can anyone help with this question - A friend of mine owns a place in upstate NY but is a legal resident of another state. She also owns a handgun and would like to bring it with her when she stays in upstate NY - can she do that? This is not about carrying; she just wants to have the gun at the...

    I can't believe it but I got my carry permit (with picture)

    I can't remember which forum member told me that I'd want to get it just so if I wanted to carry my gun, I could (not necessarily that I would all the time) - and he was right! Here's the target from my test, double-action with my S&W 60-4, shooting as fast as I could. I need to get more...

    Loaded gun on the nightstand + person who sleepwalks = some kind of lock device?

    On the one hand, a loaded gun next to the bed seems like a good idea but what about when the nightstand is next to someone who sleepwalks? Is there a device you can put on a revolver to prevent the trigger from being pulled unintentionally, but which is also very easy to remove in the dark in a...

    I have a lot of love for my new S&W revolver - but is it defective?

    UPDATED W/ PICS I have a lot of love for my new S&W revolver - but is it defective? My revolver arrived yesterday - S&W model 60-4 (as soon as I get pics, I'll post them). It is sweeter than honey. But ... there is something with the cylinder that I'm not sure about. None of the other revolvers...

    I did it. Pictures coming soon. More advice needed.

    My new purchase will be here in a few days and I can't wait to share pictures! All along I've been saying I wasn't planning to carry, but I've changed my mind. Well, I should say I want to get my permit so that if and when I want to carry, I can. Does anyone have first-hand knowledge of...

    Could someone explain what a "target" gun is?

    I hope everyone had a nice weekend. I ran across a Chief's Special on Saturday, a nice little gun. The gentleman referred to it as a "target" gun. Could someone tell me what that means exactly? How does that differ from a non-target gun, and would a "target" model gun still be a decent...

    Another price check, this for a S&W model 60

    Does this sound right to you? Model 60-10 3" barrel full underlug excellent condition, cylinder nice and tight barrel isn't pinned, but it's a prelock model a bit of a cylinder ring but not bad, otherwise cosmetically perfect $700 (total) Thank you for your input.

    I finally got to shoot some guns...

    Every person who recommended I shoot several guns before deciding on what I want was right. I had a lot of ideas about what I thought I might want but a lot of those fell out of the running last night. But what a blast!! I see why you guys love target shooting, and I never saw the attraction...

    Confused female (me) needs advice selecting a gun

    You probably get pleas like this all the time.. anyway, I'll try to be brief. I do not know anything about handguns (I have an over/under 12 ga shotgun that I shoot pretty well) but now I want something a little smaller, to keep bedside or take with me when I go camping. I have been looking...
